to be operating within pakistan i actually think that the u.s. it is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in yemen in somalia and in terms of it being disproportionate you know we have numbers coming out of pakistan that indicate that you know for every one suspected militants being killed one hundred forty innocent civilians are dying as a result of these strikes and so if those numbers are correct you know we have people on the ground who are who are gathering information who are doing the investigation and trying to collect the information so that we can bring a more transparent more honest picture to the public about what's happening in pakistan. the u.s. clearly the drone strikes to last despite what you're saying there bring success with a minimal amount of collateral damage but you're talking about all they still an effective tool to strike a target for more conventional weapons. you know i don't think so and i think that if the u.s. is going to make that that claim to make those assertions it's going to
